Quick Question about skins?

[Thomas_klei]

When using skin names sometimes there's a "p" at the end or a "d"
what's the deal with that?

I've seen "P" and I think this is to distinguish the newly-weavable skins from IAPs (formal/rose/shadow/survivor skins of refreshed characters, and costume collection) from the original tradable skins, that became heirlooms.

I'm not sure I've seen "D" - can you give an example?

I think D was for holiday limited ones, like for example: waxwell_krampus_d, waxwell_krampus_p, or waxwell_krampus

I usually get them mixed up so idk

p is purchasable aka guest of honors/... that you can weave
d is dropable aka halloween mob costumes which are normally limited event that you can get

Quick aside, you might also see some skins with some random arbitrary letter or number appended to it, too.  That's to resolve a hash collision with the string hashing function.  You can find its definition here:
